Timeline

1902

Sir Reginald Watson Watson-Jones, FRCS (born Reginald Watson Jones; 4 March 1902 – 9 August 1972) was a prominent English orthopaedic surgeon.

Reginald Watson Jones was born on 4 March 1902, the youngest child of Edward Henry Jones, a senior officer working for Dr Barnado's Homes, and his wife Alice, née Watson.

His father worked firstly in Brighton and then in Liverpool, where the younger Jones received his schooling.

After contracting typhoid in his youth, the younger Jones decided on a career in medicine and set his heart on orthopaedic surgery after he underwent an operation to remove a hemangioma.

1920

He was named Mitchell Banks Medallist (1920), George Holt Medallist (1921) and Robert Gee Prizeman (1923).

1921

In 1921, he received the Senior Lyon Jones Scholarship and two years later took the George Holt Fellowship in Physiology, before receiving the Samuel's Research Scholarship in Surgery in 1926.

1922

He joined the Medical School of Liverpool University, graduating with a first-class Bachelor of Science degree in 1922, his Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery degrees two years later, and a Masters of Orthopedic Surgery in 1926.

He would be remembered as one of the school's "most brilliant students then and since", winning numerous prizes.

1923

In 1923, he became a demonstrator in Anatomy and Physiology, and received the Conjoint Diploma at Liverpool in 1924.

Jones became a surgeon at Liverpool Royal Infirmary and Great Ormond Street Hospital after qualifying in medicine.

1926

While at Liverpool, he blossomed under the guidance of the eminent orthopaedic surgeon Robert Jones (of no relation), who recommended him to be appointed honorary assistant surgeon at the Infirmary in 1926.

1927

In 1927 he was appointed a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons.

Jones was appointed a surgeon at the Oswestry Orthopaedic Hospital at Gobowen and took up an honorary position at North Wales Sanatorium.

1930

He began publishing articles in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery in the early 1930s and produced an average of three a year from then on.

Watson-Jones married twice: firstly in 1930 to Muriel Emily, daughter of Charles William Cook, who died in 1970, and secondly, a year later, to Muriel Wallace Robertson, a nurse; he adopted two children (a son and a daughter) with his first wife.

1936

His contributions earned him recognition and he began teaching a popular course on fractions at Liverpool University in 1936, which prompted him to work on a textbook; Fractures and Joint Injuries, which appeared in 1940, was reprinted and translated many times and called a "masterpiece".

Its clear and accessible language meant that it became a valued guidebook to field surgeons in World War II.

1937

In 1937 Watson changed his surname to 'Watson-Jones' but kept 'Watson' as a separate middle name to distinguish himself from many of the other people called Jones in Liverpool.

During the early years of World War II, Watson-Jones remained a civilian consultant to the Royal Air Force.

He set up ten units of 100–150 beds each across the United Kingdom to house recovering pilots; his emphasis on rehabilitation meant that many were able to return to active service.

1942

In 1942, he established the Department of Orthopaedics and Accidents at the London Hospital and in 1945 he was knighted for his service to the war efforts.

Three years later, he was instrumental in establishing the British volume of the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (BJBJS) and became its editor (serving until his death).

1943

Meanwhile, he was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons' Council between 1943 and 1959; he was appointed the College's Hunterian Professor in 1945 and Sims Commonwealth Travelling Professor in 1950, before serving as Vice-President in 1953–54; he delivered the Hunterian Oration in 1959.

1946

He was also Orthopaedic Surgeon to George VI from 1946 to 1952 and Extra Orthopaedic Surgeon to Elizabeth II from 1952 to his death, as well as President of the Orthopaedic Section of the Royal Society of Medicine in 1956, and of the British Orthopaedic Association in 1952–53.

Watson-Jones's surgical work was characterised by meticulous attention to detail and precision, and he expected no different from his students, while he kept unusually detailed and orderly notes on all his consultations.

His work, especially during the war, but before it too, brought new ways of treating fracture into mainstream medical practice, and his publications and work with the BJBJS meant that they were available for surgeons across the world to use.

1948

He spoke out against the establishment of the National Health Service, writing in 1948 that private practice was an essential component of medical progress.

1972

He died 9 August 1972.

His obituaries call him a "warm and attractive man ... a very great 'doctor' and one of the outstanding orthopedic surgeons of his generation".

Another study of his life states that, along with his mentor Robert Jones, he "laid the foundation for a strong history of British orthopaedics".
